The -r option (depth) limits the number of "clicks" httrack
can walk through the site, from the top index (top index =
the index httrack generated). -r2 means two clicks from the
top index, that is, depth of 1 from original urls
The -%e option (external depth) is the same, but for all
links that would not have been captured normally. This is a
very specific, and potentially dangerous option, because
setting a too large external depth can cause a global WWW
mirroring..
Generally, you should NEVER use the external depth, which
is an horrible hack. You should also avoid the depth
option. These options are a bit useless with filters, which
are a more powerful (and easier) way to control the scope
of the mirror. To sum up: don't use -r and -%e unless you
exactly know what you are doing :)
